Book Countdown Day 26!

Ok, good news and bad news:

The good news is my project start date got pushed back to Wednesday.

The bad news is it means I'm probably going to spend the extra time working on the book.

Everything has been written for a while. There's only one part I screwed up by taking a two page story I wrote few years ago on a very specific topic and accidentally turning it into a fifteen page memoir.  I'm trying to cut it down to a length that won't activate your gag reflex when reading it. (But for some fucking reason I still keep adding to it and can't stop myself. It's actually quite annoying.)

The other thing I'll work on is the format --- which I started last March but lost when my computer was stolen.

(The penalty for stealing computers should not be based on the value of the computer. It should be an extremely aggravated sentence that greatly stretches the limits of Eighth Amendment jurisprudence. It should include prison time plus a non-dischargeable civil penalty owed to the victims. And maybe even a flogging for good measure.)
